Zimbra appliance further reduces IT administration and maintenance overhead. It provides a single lifecycle management policy for the application stack, which includes security technologies (including rewall and antivirus and antispam ltering), the operating system and the Zimbra application itselfreducing administration time for updating and patching each item in the stack. Zimbra also supports both hierarchical storage management and multitenancy. Hierarchical storage management optimizes storage costs through tiered storage. Multitenancy enables service providers to cost-effectively support multiple businesses in a hosted environment. Improved Service Levels Zimbra integrates with VMware datacenter technologies that enable high availability, backup and disaster recovery. A vSphere cluster with VMware HA, vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (VMware DRS), and vSphere vMotion reduces the impact of planned and unplanned hardware downtime, improving Zimbra service levels. Zimbra is integrated with the application-monitoring APIs in vSphere to monitor critical Zimbra application services, providing end-to-end availability for all application components and the underlying infrastructure for Zimbra.
